What is beach yoga?
Beach yoga is just like doing regular yoga except on the beach. If you don’t know what yoga is, it is something practiced for health and relaxation and involves things like meditation, breath control, and specific body postures. There are many benefits of doing yoga in general and doing yoga on the beach is even better. It is more relaxing due to the sounds of the calm waves and the nice fresh outside air.
What are the benefits for doing beach yoga?
There are any benefits for doing beach yoga including:
- For one, doing beach yoga near the ocean reduces stress levels.
- It decreases anxiety, and sleep disorders. WOW!!
- Also, doing yoga near the ocean improves your posture muscles.
Studies prove that if you are working out on an unstable surface like sand, it strengthens the muscles of your feet, hips, shoulders, and/or knees. Another good thing about doing it on the ocean is that you get vitamin D from the sun. Research shows that being in the sunlight is very good for the body and could prevent depression. One more benefit is that it is just very cool to do. The waves around you, the quietness, and the nice feel of the sun is great and amazing.

The sounds of the ocean waves and music of the wind is all you need. If you need follow along with an instructor, take your laptop to the beach and log in or use a DVD to watch and follow a Yoga Class!
